Comment 1 Satyabrata Maitra 2011-07-07 10:55:06 UTC
It is showing the following warning/error in bn_IN desktop when run evolution :

[smaitra@localhost ~]$ evolution

(evolution:2677): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_get_property: object class `EShellSettings' has no property named `cal-primary-calendar'

Thanks for a bug report.

I can reproduce this when running git master of evolution in a mailer component like this:
   $ LANG=ml_IN evolution

The warning seems to me like a bogus one, and can be removed silently. I didn't find an upstream bug report for this, though.

I do not see these when running evolution with bn_IN. The first two were there with 2.32.x, if I recall correctly, but the 3.0.x may not suffer of this. It may depend what component you are opening evolution in, and if it's in a mailer component, then also what message is selected for a preview. Could you check this, please?

Comment 3 MrBrownwait 2012-06-14 07:26:47 UTC
I got exactly the same message when I wanted to start gnome out of terminal.

(evolution:2117): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_get_property: object class `EShellSettings' has no property named `cal-primary-calendar'

(evolution:2117): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_property: object class `EShellSettings' has no property named `cal-primary-calendar'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)



But this only appears if I'm logged in as root. As user it's just the following message:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)



I'm not able to start evolution out of gnome 3 shell. I'm working on F17 x86_64

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2012-06-15 08:53:00 UTC
Could you install debug info packages for evolution and evolution-data-server and run evolution under gdb with a command like this:
   $ gdb evolution --ex r --ex "t a a bt"
which will stop on the SEGV and print backtrace of the operation (you can quit gdb with "q" (quotes for clarity only) command) And then attach here the backtrace, please, thus it'll be clear where the crash happened? Also make sure you'll not expose any private information, like passwords or anything, though I guess you run evolution for the first time?

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:05:25 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
